A 7B 7-S161602 is an oil-impregnated bronze thrust washer with an inner diameter of 0.5050 inches, an outer diameter of 1.0000 inches, and a thickness of 0.0625 inch, designed for self-lubricating applications. It is part of the S series, manufactured from sintered bronze and intended for axial load support. Tolerances for inner diameter are ±0.005 for sizes up to 1.253 inches, and outer diameter tolerances are ±0.010 for sizes up to 1.500 inch.
A bearing is a device that reduces friction between moving components by preventing metal-to-metal contact while assisting components (shafts, axles, and wheels) to freely rotate around a fixed axis, cutting down on heat generation and the amount of energy that is consumed. By replacing sliding motion with low-friction rolling motion, the life of the rotating components is increased. A bearing also keeps the shaft in the proper position, providing support and alignment and transferring the axial or radial loads to the housing.
The types of bearings that we offer include rolling element bearings, which consist of both ball bearings and roller bearings.
Balls are utilized as the rolling element in ball bearings; a retainer holds the balls in place and allows them to freely rotate. The balls are kept inside channels cut in both the inner and outer races. Because there is no surface contact between the balls and races, precision ball bearings have a lower load capacity for their size than other bearings.
